Business Travel Accident Insurance
Business Travel Accident Insurance provides additional coverage for eligible employees traveling on SAIC-related business. Any benefits paid are in addition to Basic Term Life Insurance and Basic AD&D Insurance benefits.
How Business Travel Accident Insurance Works
Employees automatically receive coverage equal to three times their annual compensation, to a maximum of $300,000. This is known as the "principal sum."
SAIC pays the full cost of coverage.
Employees Ages 70+
When an employee reaches age 70, the Business Travel Accident Insurance benefit amount — or principal sum — will be reduced by 35%.
In the event of an employee's death while traveling on SAIC-related business, benefits will be paid to the designated beneficiary. If an employee accidentally suffers dismemberment, the benefits will be paid directly to the employee. The chart below shows the benefit payments under the Business Travel Accident Insurance plan:
| FOR THE LOSS OF:* | THE EMPLOYEE WILL RECEIVE: |
|---|---|
| 100% of the principal sum |
| 50% of the principal sum |
| 25% of the principal sum |
* An employee's loss must occur within 365 days of the date of the accident. "Member" means hand, foot or eye. "Loss of a hand or foot" means complete severance through or above the wrist or ankle joint. "Loss of sight" means total, permanent and irrevocable loss by natural, surgical or artificial means. "Loss of speech" means total, permanent and irrevocable loss of audible communication. "Loss of hearing" means total and permanent loss of hearing in both ears which cannot be corrected by any means. "Loss of a thumb and index finger" means complete severance through or above the metacarpophalangeal joints (the joints between the fingers and the hand).
